No, it was a '74' plate, not Astra sized, more of a Karoq/Peugeot 3008 sizeIt's a griffin, and they still use it.
I suspect what you saw was an after-market mod.

Thursday 28th
We’ve just spent a cold couple of hours, with the ‘wallpaper remover’ (one of the steam type) removing the decals & ‘wrapped’ rear-window, from the wifes ‘works Van’
The business has been sold/clients transferred/etc, so this will be sold (& like everything else split 50-50, with her business partner)
It looks naked now!!

Friday 7th
After going to the caravan site, l had to go straight into Wakefield (A1 > ‘HookMoor’ > M1)
On my way home, a Vauxhall car pulled out of the main-dealer, at Wakefield Bridge
It had an illuminated horizontal stripe, & ‘Vauxhall’ was also lit
No idea what model it was?
I don’t recall seeing an illuminated badge on anything but a ‘3-pointed star’ on a M-B tractor-unit
Plus; when did Vauxhall stop using the Griffin? (or was it a Wyvern?)
It's a griffin, and they still use it.

Just seen a TV advert, a Grandland Hybrid
Sunday 26th
I’ve just driven to work in the Corsa, as it’s not moved for a few days
The trip was reset, after the MOT test, which was on Wednesday 4th September
It’s not covered a lot of miles!

I know I've added a few vehicles that fit the title, but had to put them in the 'Classic Car' thread, this may be an apt receptacle?
I saw this VW, as l left work at 22:15, this evening
A curious colour scheme

Sunday 23rd
A while ago we removed the vinyl lettering (as used on trucks/vans)
However, SWMBO washed it a couple of days ago, & remnants of the adhesive are collecting dirt, & it can be felt too
What’s the best way of removing it
We’ve tried acetone/nail varnish remover, but to not much effect
Will white spirit/turpentine do the job?
Thanks!
What it looked like before, so you can see how much we removed
